  • Blind-spot warning (alerts you if a vehicle in the next lane over is in your blind spot)
  • Lane departure warning (alerts you if the vehicle begins to drift out of its lane)
  • Front and rear parking sensors (alert you to obstacles that may not be visible in front of or behind the vehicle when parking)

M240i xDrive
More powerful and feature-rich, the M240i gets you:

  • Turbocharged six-cylinder engine (382 horsepower, 369 lb-ft)
  • All-wheel drive
  • 19-inch wheels
  • Unique front and rear bumpers
  • Sunroof
  • Keyless entry
  • Sport differential (torque vectoring; helps maximize available traction during hard acceleration and enhances handling agility)
  • Adaptive sport suspension (helps improve ride comfort and handling stability)
  • Upgraded brakes
  • Rear spoiler

Some of these features are available as options on the 230i. Many others are bundled into packages or are stand-alone additions and include:

  • Heated front seats and steering wheel
  • Leather upholstery
  • 14-speaker Harman Kardon premium audio system
  • Wireless smartphone charging
  • Adaptive headlights (swivel as you turn the steering wheel for better illumination in curves)
  • Surround-view camera system (gives you a top-down view of the vehicle and its surroundings for tight parking situations)
  • Automated parking system (steers into a parking spot with little or no driver intervention)
  • Adaptive cruise control (adjusts speed to maintain a constant distance between the vehicle and the car in front)
  • Head-up display (displays important information in your sight line on the windshield)
  • Drive recorder (records an image of the road ahead, which can be reviewed at a later time)
  • Upgraded cooling and brake package (M240i only)
  • M Sport exterior upgrades, including red brake calipers and dark exterior trim (M240i only)

Which 2 Series trim does Edmunds recommend?

The M240i xDrive gets our recommendation because it best exemplifies the 2 Series' sporting potential. With the added traction of all-wheel drive and an M Sport differential, this little coupe is a stout performer and is lively enough that most drivers won't see the need to step up to the new M2.
